Number 22

There are two ways to
do this. The cowardly way would be to find a lonely bend in the Thames, get in
the water with shorts on and remove them under water, carefully watching to
make sure there's no one around, and trying not to attract attention.

I, however, will buy a
ticket for a family swimming session at the Windrush Leisure Centre, and strip
off in the changing room. I will march proudly to the pool, shout a cheery
'Good morning, families' before entering the pool with my famous 'sea lion' dive.
People like confident people, so I expect quite a lot of the families and staff
will come up and congratulate me on my boldness.

The fifty things

This was one of my surprise presents for my fiftieth birthday given to me by my wife - fifty activities / challenges to do throughout the year, written on numbered pieces of paper in a wicker basket, each of which will make me do something I would probably not normally do. Monday mornings have something to look forward to at last.
